It's intentional. If you don't want that, use SIGQUIT. That's how they are different. Of course, when using SIGQUIT, you will have to spend the time you saved on the checkpoint for the recovery at startup. So you have to put in the time either way. It is not unheard of that a shutdown can take minutes. That's why the -t option was added to pg_ctl some time ago. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
